Daily Devotion: John 7

³⁷On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. ³⁸Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."

Take note the way Jesus prioritize His message through this scripture here:

Firstly, we must "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink"

Secondly, then we will have "whoever believes in me... streams of living water will flow from within him"

But how many times have we got the priorities upside down?

We yearn for that streams of living water to flow out from within us as we serve and give. We want to be the best worker in our companies and institutions. We want to strive, be excellent and achieve the best results. Sometimes these motivations can even be of good and valid reasons i.e. strong desire to be a marketplace minister for God.

HOWEVER, we need to always always remember that without the source we are nothing! Jesus yearns for a close relationship with us above all the achievements and accolades you and I can achieve. That's why every day before we get into the hussling schedule of our daily routine, let's come to Jesus and drink of Him!

Let's get our priorities right today! =D
